I must say that I had this exact problem that I wanted to solve, and while
one of the follow-ups suggests that it is not possible, aceiving your end
result IS possible.
For example, take 3 XSL sheets:
Page.xsl
/ \
header.xsl footer.xsl
page.xsl looks something like this (html and xsl has been simplified and
names have been changed to protect the innocent)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
... header stuff ...
<xsl:include href="header.xsl"/>
<xsl:include href="footer.xsl"/>
<xsl:template match="page">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Your title</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<center>Welcome
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:apply-templates select="header">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>main content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:apply-templates select="header">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</BODY>
</HTML>
</xsl:template>
then header.xsl actually contains AN ENTIRE table element itself that
formats you header. It still obeys the rules of all tags must be closed:
--------------------------------------
...header stuff....
<xsl:template match="header">
<TABLE>
<TR>
<td> My Header </td>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</xsl:template>
Do the same then for your footer and sure you'll be laughin'...
